Biography

I am a sociologist and full professor at Queens College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. I currently direct the Sociology MA program in Data Analytics and Applied Social Research, and I teach a mix of undergraduate and graduate courses on quantitative and qualitative research methods, survey design, social science writing and analysis, health policy, and organizational behavior.

As a sociologist, I am fascinated by the way that organizations and industries shape people’s personal experiences. My work has focused on both the healthcare industry and more recently the publishing industry.
